Circadian Preferences, Sleep Quality and Sleep Patterns, Personality, Academic Motivation and Academic Achievement of university students (2014, result): “Unlike many studies which indicate that Sleep Quality is related to Academic Achievement (Curcio et al., 2006; Gilbert & Weaver, 2010; Wolfson & Carskadon, 2003) in this study Sleep Quality did not correlate with Academic Achievement.”
A's from Zzzz's? The Causal Effect of School Start Time on the Academic Achievement of Adolescents (2011, background): “…role in learning and memory, with several studies finding an inverse relationship between sleep and academic performance at both the secondary and postsecondary level (Curcio, Ferrara, and Gennaro 2006; Wolfson and Carskadon 1998; Mickey T. Trockel, Michael D. Barnes, and Dennis L. Egget 2000).”
A deficit in the ability to form new human memories without sleep (2007, background): “Despite these advances, however, remarkably few studies have focused on a related, equally critical question: is sleep before learning also essential in preparing the human brain for initial memory formation, or 'encoding'? Such questions are particularly germane given that society as a whole contin”
The impact of stress on students in secondary school and higher education (2019, neutral): “Loss of sleep is frequently associated with poor learning (Curcio et al., 2006).”
Electronic media use and sleep in school-aged children and adolescents: A review. (2010, background): “More specifically, insufficient sleep and poor sleep quality have been associated with impairments in declarative, procedural and working memory performance, as well as poor concentration, which logically translates into poor academic performance [1–3].”
Causes and consequences of sleepiness among college students (2014, neutral): “ie, memory formation may be prompted by slow-wave sleep and consolidated by REM sleep (see Figure 1).(20) Both theories may help to explain how a student’s sleep pattern could impact learning.”
